GRAA Board Search
GRAA is an organization that manages 12 sports, more than 400 volunteers, and 85% of Glen Ridge students in grades K-8. As you can imagine, running something like this requires commitment, collaboration, and hands-on effort.
Some of our board members reach their term limits this year, and we are seeking enthusiastic candidates to fill their seats. As we work to strengthen our impact and community engagement, we are conducting one search now, with positions to be filled throughout the year as board seats become available.
The GRAA board is a “working board,” meaning that beyond our monthly 2.5-hour board meetings (first Tuesday night of each month), each member takes on individual responsibilities and tackles ad hoc tasks as they arise. In addition, board members serve as liaisons to specific GRAA sports, acting as navigators of the organization, single points of contact, and advocates to the board.
Board seats could include roles such as Director of Communications, Public Relations Director, Director of Governance, Director of Media, Treasurer, and Director of Risk. Once we evaluate expressions of interest and skill sets, we will interview candidates and make selections. The exact responsibilities and titles of the positions will depend on the board’s needs, the individuals who apply, and their availability.
We are looking for talented individuals with passion and commitment to ensure that GRAA delivers a great sports experience for the community at large, along with any of the following skills and interests:
- Project management
- Board meeting planning and execution
- Action item management
- Risk management
- Legal expertise
- Conduct mediation
- Financial management
- Communications
- Community relations
- Social media posting
- Graphic design for social media & website (Canva)
- Website updating (WordPress)
- TeamSnap registration building
All candidates must be comfortable using Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Drive) and able to dedicate several hours per week to GRAA Board related tasks.
